NEW

Enhancements

API changes

  • Permanent markers (if any) are now displayed when plotting by default.
  • HyperSpy no longer depends on traitsui (fixing many installation issues) and ipywidgets as the GUI elements based on these packages have now been splitted into separate packages and are not installed by default.
  • The following methods now raise a ValueError when not providing the number of components if output_dimension was not specified when performing a decomposition. (Previously they would plot as many figures as available components, usually resulting in memory saturation):
  • The default extension when saving to HDF5 following HyperSpy's specification is now hspy instead of hdf5. See :external+rsciio:ref:`hspy-format`.
  • The following methods are deprecated and will be removed in HyperSpy 2.0
  • The following items have been removed from :ref:`preferences <configuring-hyperspy-label>`:

New feature

API changes

The new :py:class:`~.api.signals.BaseSignal`, :py:class:`~.api.signals.Signal1D` and :py:class:`~.api.signals.Signal2D` deprecate hyperspy.signal.Signal, :py:class:`~.api.signals.Signal1D` and :py:class:`~.api.signals.Signal2D` respectively. Also as_signal1D, as_signal2D`, to_signal1D and to_signal2D deprecate as_signal1D, as_signal2D, to_spectrum and to_image. See #963 and #943 for details.

0.8.4 (2016-03-04)

This release adds support for Python 3 and drops support for Python 2. In all other respects it is identical to 0.8.3.

0.8.3 (2016-03-04)

This is a maintenance release that includes fixes for multiple bugs, some enhancements, new features and API changes. This is set to be the last HyperSpy release for Python 2. The release (HyperSpy 0.8.4) will support only Python 3.

Importantly, the way to start HyperSpy changes (again) in this release. Please read carefully :ref:`importing_hyperspy-label` for details.

This is a maintenance release. Follow the following links for details on all the bugs fixed, feature and documentation enhancements.

Importantly, the way to start HyperSpy changes in this release. Read :ref:`importing_hyperspy-label` for details.

It also includes some new features and introduces important API changes that will be fully enforced in Hyperspy 1.0.

New features

API changes

  • hyperspy.hspy is now deprecated in favour of the new :py:mod:`hyperspy.api`. The new API renames and/or move several modules as folows:

    • hspy.components -> hyperspy.api.model.components
    • hspy.utils-> hyperspy.api
    • hspy.utils.markers hyperspy.api.plot.markers
    • hspy.utils.example_signals -> hyperspy.api.datasets.example_signals

    In HyperSpy 0.8.1 the full content of hyperspy.hspy is still imported in the user namespace, but this can now be disabled in hs.preferences.General.import_hspy. In Hyperspy 1.0 it will be disabled by default and the hyperspy.hspy module will be fully removed in HyperSpy 0.10. We encourage all users to migrate to the new syntax. For more details see :ref:`importing_hyperspy-label`.

  • Indexing the hyperspy.signal.Signal class is now deprecated. We encourage all users to use isig and inav instead for indexing.

  • hyperspy.hspy.create_model is now deprecated in favour of the new equivalent hyperspy.signal.Signal.create_model Signal method.

  • hyperspy.signal.Signal.unfold_if_multidim is deprecated.

  • The axes can now be given using their name e.g. s.crop("x", 1,10)
